Generally speaking, I have no issue with the whole cast, save for 2 specific characters: Yasuhiro and Touko, both being utterly useless in term of character purpose or plot device. That aside, due to the large cast, I picked 5 of them:

1) Kyouko: albeit presented as a cold and analytical detective, Kyouko is quite interesting. Past her skills, her personality still has quirks and I liked how she opened to Makoto (alas only in the free time events in the game).

2) Sakura: the character who reeks "respect" in both ways. I don't think it is necessary to explain this choice.

3) Makoto: I often see people complaning he is a "boring MC" but I digress. Despite being an average guy from the getgo, Makoto fared pretty well during the story as an anchor for the audience/gamers. Suffice to say, while some point might be questionable (mainly the fact he didn't tell Kyouko about Sakura's agenda), he is relatable and consistent.

4) Sayaka: probably one of the most unpopular characters out of there. Despite being just the "cute character" at first, I liked Sayaka because she is a bit more than that, and she is the only character out there who had a "valid" murder motive, as it was not only out of desperation about her friends, but also her own existence purpose. That aside, I really think she could be a decent sidekick to Makoto, contrary to Aoi who was a bit on her own.

5) Monokuma: welp, the series wouldn't have its defined identity without the psycho bear. That being said, I'm voting for him only because of the game. The anime counterpart was awfully passive with hardly any troll whatsoever. Monokuma was pretty much harassing the whole cast in many ways it is both entertaining and heinous.

Togami - do I have to explain this? He's a jerk but Ishida Akira was great as him and I liked his reaction to Sho.

Sho - didn't see her coming at all, loved that she appeared more then her timid counterpart and actually didn't kill anyone though she had the means and motive.

Kirigiri - gotta say she didn't leave much of impression on me in the first few series but her interaction with Naegi and finding out just what her special title was (though it was kinda obvious) made me like her.

Naegi is the guy who solves all the mysteries so he would always be a favorite. Also i like his design.

Kirigiri she seems to help out naegi the most plus out of everyone there it seems that she has the most knowledge and figures out who the culprit is the fastest. Never understood why she kept quiet and let others struggle though...

Sakura i never really thought much of her, just another character added into the show and fodder for mysteries or drama. But when her death came and how sad the whole case was, and how she sacrificed herself, it made me like her a lot more (plus the class pictures had her doing some funny stuff)

He might be an asshole, but he is one of the few people here who always tried to think and figure out things, even though he's not right all the time. Also he served as the voice of realism and reminds everyone of the absurd reality they're coping, even when his words come out as insensible and heartless to some people, like Asahina.

Also in the game he has more layers than the anime, from his speeches, his view of life and his backstory. While in the game he's more of an asshole he's still a lot more interesting than how the anime depicted him, and I see that many of his fans come out more from the game. But then, other characters also suffered from the lack of characterization in the anime.

Him being the prettiest bishounen also attract certain females. I actually met fangirls who really like him despite his personality. No, maybe it's his personality that they like him

I always loved this character because it just gave me such a great feeling of happiness the way that she kind of relates with the main character from Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge (The Severing Crime Edge) With the way they both use scissors for weapon and they have like a strange other side that is completely different from the murderous side
